ENT says it looks like �Text Book� SCC tumor. He did take a biopsy but just to get things moving along. He said that locally recurrent cancers like this can come back with a vengeance and grow very rapidly. The one good thing he had to say was that this location is operable. It would involve splitting my jaw and replacing most of the floor of my mouth with a free flap from the wrist.

I will be going back to University of Pittsburgh on Monday if they think it�s worth it. Doctor here has call into my Dr. at Pitt. I�ll try and arrange a call with him tomorrow and see how soon they want me out there.

Jim: looks like I�ll be visiting your old stomping grounds at UPMC once again.

Christine: If I survive this, my signature line may be as long as yours.

Charm: You and I seem to be traveling a very similar road only you are always a few steps ahead of me. Good luck my friend, I�ll see you at the finish line.

I hate this fight.

Going into round 4.
